Brief Summary

Speech disorders affect more than 90% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Neither of conventional drugs nor surgery can effectively improve speech function. Western speech rehabilitation is effective for speech disorders, but the domestic use of those methods used is limited. Our preliminary results revealed that traditional Chinese Yi jin jing tiger roaring speech rehabilitation is effectively in the treatment of speech disorders in PD, however, high-quality clinical evidence is still scarce. In order to solve this problem, we will conduct a prospective cohort study to explore the effects of Yi Jin Jing tiger roaring speech rehabilitation with real-time feedback technique on speech disorders in PD patients. This study will help to establish a set of Chinese Medicine treatment and objective evaluation methods for PD speech disorders.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Differences in voice parameters between treatment conditions in the on- and off- medication states

    Baseline, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks

  • Differences in Swallowing Disturbance Questionnaire (SDQ) scores between treatment conditions in the on- and off- medication states.

    Baseline, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks

  • Differences in Burg Balance Scale (BBS) scores between two treatment conditions in the on- and off- medication states.

    Baseline, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks

  • Differences in Water Swallow Test (WST) scores between treatment conditions in the on- and off- medication states.

    Baseline, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks

  • Differences in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores between Treatment conditions.

    Baseline, 4 weeks

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
